COMING SOON: A Czech website might have just leaked the PlayStation VR

This year Virtual reality will take over gaming and slowly but surely we're edging closer and closer to the release of several high profile headsets.

Unlike competitions though, Sony have yet to announce any sort of pricing for their product, formally known as Project Morpheus.

But now a Czech website might have given the game away by revealing the price of Sony's next great piece of tech and it's coming in at a much lower cost than their competitors.

EYE EYE: The Oculus Rift will launch in March

Valve’s HTC Vive recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons after announcing their huge $800 USD price tag.

That equates to roughly £560, but UK consumers should expect to pay a lot more when it’s released here due to the inclusion of sales tax.

In all likelihood this should bump the cost up to roughly £700.

The Oculus Rift will on the other hand will be much lower at $600 USD, but UK gamers will still be looking at paying £500 all-in to grab a Rift on launch.

Whilst lower than a Vive, many VR adopters might be angry given the misinformation surrounding the pricing and previous comments from the Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey.

Speaking in a Reddit AMA session recently, Luckey admitted this error, saying: “In a September interview, during the Oculus Connect developer conference, I made the infamous ‘roughly in that $350 ballpark, but it will cost more than that’ quote.

CHEAP: The leaked price would suggest a £350 price in the UK

As for Sony, the Czech website seems to suggest that people will pay 11 990Kc, or $490 USD, which converts to a very reasonable £350.

Although we need to take the price with a grain of salt, if this does turn out to be the correct cost, it should give Sony a very competitive edge against the competition.

Especially when you factor in that gamers will only have to worry about the cost of the headset, unlike HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift which will require a huge amount of additional hardware in addition.
